The soul of this nation. And joe biden wins more states in tuesdays primaries takes a dominant lead over Bernie Sanders in the race for the democratic nomination. Starting with corona virus of course that has now spread to more than 100. 00 countries across 6 continents italy remaining the worst affected country outside of asia with a nationwide lockdown in effect also indonesia has now reported its 1st death south korea is being hit hard there are more than 200. 00 new cases reported there many of them at the call center in the capital the crisis in china though seems to be easing there are a few new cases and deaths being reported there the government even allowing some companies to reopen and would harm which was the epicenter of the outbreak beijing download now is tightening its rules on International Flights into the capital well look at that later on in the u. S. The number of infections well theres an increase there more than a 1000 confirmed cases now. The National Guard has even been sent to a new york city suburb where there are a cluster of cases. But as we mentioned earlier the British Government Health Minister in fact said that is Nadine Dorries she has put herself in quarantine now she attended an event hosted by the Prime Minister Barak Johnson and the last week and elsewhere in europe in fact just in the last hour germanys chancellor warns the virus will test Health Care Systems right across the continent and limo cool here she is and that News Conference by the muslim 1st in the north of you will start we have to understand the virus is here that is to know a munity in the population against this vital injection north and appease and it means that. A High Percentage 60 to 70 percent of the population can be infected if this is the situation continues like that its a disease why we have to work so intensively to find the right medication for. Lawrence a following developments from europe for us in london lawrence the the calm voice of Angela Merkel there has been the german leader for such a long time an important voice for germans to hear no. Yeah i mean shes very reassuring the germans dont call them o. T. Or money for no reason to they she didnt really say anything that we didnt know in the News Conference but its all about the context the timing the that the general expectation is that. The germany france and the u. K. The 3 biggest economies in europe are all going to see the source of spike that happened in italy over the next week or fortnight and if you look at the german cases at the moment they were completely flat until a couple of days ago theyve already started going like this very low admittedly only 1300. 00 cases so far just 2 deaths but contextually its about to get a lot worse thats a thats thats a general assumption germany has a very Large Population 80000000 people she said today and she had already told a government that the expectation was that 60 or 70 percent of germans could get it thats over 50000000 people potentially and its one of the oldest populations in the whole of europe and obviously we know that its older people who are suffering the worst of this and so consequently it was really a sort of call to arms for michel americans of the german people to say look we know big events are a problem do you really need to go to that football match some of our officials have said to you what why not ride a bike or walk in so instead of taking public transport try and stay away from other people thats the message in it and the think what theyre trying to do not just merkel but all of them now are trying to say you know the credit doesnt discriminate theres this thing its all about individual choices and trying just to to delay it simple and flatten the curve as far as you can laurence the situation in london where you are with the Health Minister not in doris obviously shes put herself in quarantine now but whats the talk about the potential knock on effect about how many people shes been in touch with about the effect on the British Government who. Well i mean the Times Newspaper which reported this said and they got fully briefed on it said she that shed been musta been in concert with hundreds of people over the period and that must be true but snitches junior Health Minister jobs to meet people they they should she started getting properly at the weekend on saturday in their constituency north of london but in the days before that when she was cleaning the basing it shed been in the house of commons shed been voting theyre all very tightly packed together when they go to the voting lobbies she met the Prime Minister on thursday its a International Womens day event. And an opposition Health Minister orders shadow called call Rachel Maskell who met who met earlier today has put herself in self isolation now on medical advice so the big question now is whether parliament more broadly and government officials follow the same thing thank you for those updates lawrence lee in london. Mentioned this earlier the concern over a new cluster of cases in south Koreas Capital seoul bribe has more on that. People started to detect a trends that some Call Center Workers were falling sick they started to do widespread testing and have discovered a 93. 00 cases now at this one call center either workers or their immediate family or acquaintances and friends and the concern is that this is the biggest cluster that we have had in the soul area and the soul greater soul metropolitan area which includes the capitol but also surrounding cities such as interior and is an area that comprises 25000000 people this call center was in a part of the city that is served extremely well by subway systems by trains so there is a real concern and there you had for a time at least hundreds of calls Center Workers coming to and from work using all of these means of public transport so we can expect to see more cases its feared on the Positive Side this is happened fairly recently in the past few days so it is a time obviously of heightened awareness that there are less people traveling more people have been staying at home if people have been traveling theyre been extremely conscious about Wearing Masks about keeping distance from fellow passengers and and so on so the hope is that the authorities here the medical services and all of the testing infrastructure that is in place has moved quickly enough to contain that but we will see in the coming days but it has led the authorities here to look very closely at conditions in call centers which are often very cramped and south koreas neighbors will also be looking closely in the coming days to see whether this is going to be any kind of reversal on the progress that has being made and among those neighbors of course will be north korea which is yet to report a single case of the corona virus and is in barked at the moment on a National Effort to keep the virus out. It is a country used to being mobilized against a common enemy and now that one scene photo is the corona virus an outbreak could be devastating for a population which is malnourished and with primitive medical services.

S. And north korea it seems to be business as usual twice in the space of a week north korea has conducted short range weapons tests after a lull of 3 months some analysts say its just part of regular winter exercises while others add that with denuclearization talks in stalemate he has nothing to lose by testing and that it sends a strong message to his own people that with much of the rest of the world grappling with the viruses spread kim is firmly in control and appearing to keep them safe rob mcbride aljazeera sold.

Yes he won in terms of the ruler numbers between the various parties his new could won the election with 36 seats too many dances in White Alliance with 33 and he celebrated what he said was the sweetest nick tree of his political career just a couple of weeks ago but now we have this situation where when we look at the blocks in the forming class it he doesnt have a majority of his right wing allies would get him 58 seats at the moment benny gantz he would have 47 seats with his own party and other left wing and right wing parties who would support him but crucially there is also the question of the 15 seats of the largely palestinian israeli joint list grouping of parties so if benny gantz can shore up the support of all those within his own bloc plus get the support of all 15 of those palestinians really parties from outside the government not join a coalition but support a minority government from outside that would give him 62 and that is what hes trying for but to get there 1st he needs to beat netanyahu as bloc of 58 but at least one seat and that has become much more difficult given the approach thats been taken very recently.
